Please post an introduction so we know who you are Thank you Richard

As I said above, definitely Darrell for me. Only thing is - if it's for playing out it needs to be Darrell Banks on a Revilot White Demo so it's similar rarity for a JJ Barnes

Darrell for me

Brilliant, rare, cheap

Can't see that picture Ricky - is it just me? Cheers Richard

Thanks Dazz and Nick This is a red Big Mack label with black print but just didn't look right. It's got a load of Soul Fire blurb pressing details and names in the deadwax. Must be the re-issue then. Was not sold as a re-issue though Anyone got any more information on either the Big Mack original or the Soul Fire re-issue please, including all the anorak matrix marks, label paper, font details etc? Cheers Richard

Hi everyone Wondering if The Soul President - Get It Right / Got To Have It (Big Mack) - red label, black print - has ever been bootlegged or done on a legit re-issue please? I know at least one Big Mack record (Manhattans) was done on a repro. Thanks for any info. Cheers Richard

I'm impressed by the quality of the photo of the Bell Sound stamp

So they aren't all NM then as per the headline? "Margie Hendrix - One Room Paradise b/w Don't Take Your Good Thing (Mercury) VG+ £50"

I have had records delivered between two pieces of card in a jiffy bag - and I'm surprised they ever made it intact. A US-style mailer with card inserts inside that is well made-up is a sturdy affair - much better than the 'mandatory' requirements in that PDF. These US-style mailers are properly manufactured products for mailing vinyl 45s - Bags Unlimited stylee I don't really rate the envelope type UK mailers a lot of people use. Although I have seen these Royal Mail documents and similar before, I bet most people don't even know they exist. Richard

As I understand it these turquoise coloured issues were legitimate second releases. Cheers Richard

That ebay one still went for c. £1k

Back Beat and you know it is LOL

I use US style mailers rather than the UK ones. These are a little heavier than the UK style. With these, 1st class UK Recorded Delivery is always £2.30 and UK Special Delivery is £6.90. For sending Airsure overseas it depends on location and the value for insurance. You can check the price on the royal mail website first if you know the size and weight. I have recently sent packages to Austraila - they were both just under £13.00. I also sent one to France and it was the same price due to the value Two parcels sent to the USA were about £10.00 and £13.00 - the pricier one was due to the insured value. Cheers Richard

No - not at all. Please read the sales guidelines on this forum.

It's the New Holidays "My Baby Ain't No Plaything" on Westbound #157. This song isn't on Soulhawk. The Soulhawk #1008 release by the New Holidays has "If I Only Knew" on it. Both the Soulhawk and Westbound releases have "Maybe So, Maybe No" on them. Cheers Richard

New Holidays Also unissued by Willie Harvey - also seen credited to Willie Jones. Others? Cheers Richard

Would be interested to find out more if it is a female version Cheers Richard

Yes, that's how it works Cheers Richard

Bobby Eaton is a great sound and the other side "Fever, Fever, Fever" is as per the Brothers of Soul on Boo. Cheers Richard

It says New Holidays in the title, but it looks like Mighty Lovers from the detail?
